Star Wars truly is one of the best film franchises out there, and it is now returning to our screens with Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens! We think that these films really are the best movies to watch a Christmas and here’s why

At the end of The Return of the Jedi, we find out that Leia and Luke are in fact twins! Look at how this fantastic trilogy brings the whole family together, unfortunately Darth Vader is their father, but no family is perfect.
